Araquanid could be here. I have been using it a lot and it have been a good wallbreaker. It could even go to a point where it could 1v1 Mega Aggron with Liquidation if it doesn't run any Rock type moves. It could also survive Most super effective special attack moves due to its high Sp. def and it can retaliate back with a Water Bubble boosted STAB Liquidation.

Its water bubble ability does 3 things

- Doubles water type attacks

- Halves Fire type attacks

- Can't be burned.

So it can freely switch into fire type attacks, it can't be shut down by will-o-wisp or those Burn HAX scald and pack a huge punch with its STAB Physical water type moves.

One downside of araquanid is that it has limited coverage due to its lackluster attack stat (70 Base Atk), so it needs the aid of its ability to do most of the wallbreaking stuff. It also doesn't have a reliable form of recovery (being only Leech life) to fully act as a Special tank.

It also don't see that much any info on doubles battle in PBB meta as in 2v2s, nobody ever liked to spam Rock slide, Earthquake and stuff where its Wide guard move could work on.

It can be a trick room abuser but it is outsped by most trick-room setters and abusers due to its 50 base speed stat.
